Conclusion: Talking the Talk, Walking the Walk

Abstract

This chapter points out that the uncertain political-economic environment in the international system brings us back to the quality of domestic institutions and the need to establish durable links between the domestic development regime and the foreign policy regime. Based on our regime coherence framework, we argue that weak institutional complementarities constitute Turkey’s main challenge to building a development-oriented foreign policy outlook in an increasingly multipolar order. We conclude the three complementary pillars, economic governance, state-business ties, and financial statecraft could not be systematically incorporated into the Turkish foreign policy framework despite certain improvements. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
